The first conversation

Tell us what is going on with the house

Share the address, condition, who lives there, access, repairs, and the timing you have in mind. Begin with what you know; an estate, tenant, payoff, lien, tax account, code notice, or sale notice can be discussed as it comes up.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

The house should be in Gettysburg borough or Adams County, Pennsylvania. The property address helps us keep the conversation tied to the right place and records.

From first contact to settlement

The Gettysburg process, step by step

  1. Start with the property details

    Give us the address and the facts you have about condition, occupancy, access, repairs, and timing. You do not need to finish repairs, clear the house, or gather every paper before you call.

  2. Talk through the house and sale choices

    We ask practical questions, look at the house as it is, and talk through a direct sale, EZ Sale, listing, repairing, waiting, or another route. A Cash Offer is a direct purchase by USA Home Buyers; EZ Sale goes to one of our partners.

    We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

  3. Read the written terms before you decide

    Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any property-specific conditions. Ask about a line you do not understand before signing.

  4. Check title, authority, payoffs, and notices

    The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for settlement. A payoff is the amount needed to pay an outstanding loan or obligation; a lien is a claim for money recorded against the property. If an estate or court matter is involved, the title company can identify what authority papers or additional review are needed.

    Keep any lender, tax, court, code, or sheriff notice you have. You can call before it is in front of you; when available, the actual notice and the relevant office help confirm the current account or date.

  5. Review the settlement sheet

    The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, other costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.

  6. Choose, sign, and close

    If you choose to proceed, sign the written terms and closing papers through the title-company process. The title company confirms final settlement numbers and coordinates the closing details.

    You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

Compare the written numbers

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers

We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Cash Offer — direct purchase

USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

EZ Sale — partner purchase

Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

Your written terms show the numbers and responsibilities for the option you choose. Compare them with the work and likely costs of listing before you decide.

You can also compare the paths with the cash offer vs. listing guide or use the Gettysburg home-sale net-proceeds calculator.

Gettysburg borough and Adams County

Use the office that handles the question

Gettysburg is a borough in Adams County. Borough contacts and county records are different starting points. The title company reviews the property-specific records and tells you what is needed for this closing; you can start the conversation with us even if you have not contacted an office yet.

Borough of Gettysburg ↗

Start with the borough for municipal contacts and questions about borough notices or property matters.

Adams County Tax Services ↗

Use the county tax office for property-tax account questions; the title company checks the amounts that apply at settlement.

Ownership and closing details

Title, estate authority, liens, and sale notices

The title company checks the deed, who has authority to sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and any documents needed to close. If the house is part of an estate, the authority papers matter; if a lender, court, tax, or sheriff notice is involved, the current notice and responsible office matter. Keep the papers you have so the title company can identify the next question.

A recorded document or a notice is a starting point, not the final settlement calculation. The title company coordinates the property-specific payoff and closing records with the relevant lender, office, court, or estate representative. You may call us before those details are resolved.

Before the signatures

Review the settlement sheet and Pennsylvania transfer tax

Read the settlement sheet line by line: price, mortgage or other payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled to be paid out. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.

Pennsylvania charges a 1% state transfer tax when a house changes hands, and most towns add a local tax on top. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. Read Pennsylvania Revenue's realty-transfer-tax information ↗.

When the process gets difficult

We stay with the process

It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
